Soundproofing/Waterproofing a Honda Genny
A couple of months ago, somebody in a boating forum described using a
modified cooler to house a honda 2000 genny. I passed on those posts to my talented stepson and today we came up with a proto-type, that he may eventually market for roughly $150 on E-bay. This is the first one with more improvements envisioned before it goes to market. This cooler is a Coleman 5 day, 100 qt. we got on sale at Walmart for $35. Only problem with it is that it's not high enough, forcing us to cut a hole into the top of the door. Here are some pictures with comments in the captions. Please share all opinions. http://tinyurl.com/2kqwjd Outlay was as follows.... $35 cooler $10 ventilation pipe/exhaust $30 padded cooler cover Plus an hour or two of labor. Results....this modified cooler cut down the sound about a third. Most of the remaining noise comes from the exhaust. Also pertinant, the gen-box looks good on the back of my upper swim platform and it provides waterproofing for the genny, which will allow me to use it in the rain. (We get a little here). Again....don't hesitate to be critical and/or creative. Thanks! -Greg Schoenberg "She Said Yes" 2002 Regal 2465 Kalama, Washington |
